Lawyering Through Life

Genius

So, who's the genius who scheduled a session with her trainer at 6:30 a.m. on a morning SHE HAS OFF FROM WORK?? Yep, that's me. I got up at 5:30 today after having a hard time falling asleep last night because of the post 24 premiere frenzy. Last night's premiere was excellent. Violent though. Kiefer's acting skills were tested as he was expected to not just be a bad a** but also a mentally and physically tortured shell of his former self. The slumped shoulders, the barely audible whisper of "Audrey", the jumpy but still alert reflexes... all I can say is well played, Kiefer, well played.

I always thought Jack resembled a MacGyver for our generation. Jack obviously has better toys but he had that same MacGyver knack to escape from any situation. Last night though he was really tested. Last night, as he sunk his teeth into a terrorist, he established himself as the most bad a** guy in the history of television. Literally. He bit someone. Jack Bauer The Vampire. No, I don't think the writers are pursuing a storyline where the Chinese turned Jack into a vampire who now sinks his fangs into CTU agents to get them to give up their super cool GPS devices that have batteries that never die. I think the bite was more to show us just how committed Jack Bauer is to living to fight another day to save the country. He is willing to taste flesh for the chance to save lives. That is one committed but hanging on by a thread bad a** mother f*cker.
